Supreme Court Bans Use of Defendant Silence in Trial
The Supreme Court in a 6-3 ruling prohibits cross-examination of post arrest silence to discredit a defendant. The decision stems from Jefferson Doyle and Richard Wood’s marijuana case in New Philadelphia Ohio. The court also set aside an 11 year sentence in a New York murder case where the defendant pleaded guilty without full awareness of the charge.
